Okay a few questions,

1) while running these 5870 in CF attach both CF cables yes or no? and reasons why..

2) Display port resolution vs DVI resolution on dell u2711, it says the I need to use a dual DVI cable to get maximum resolution on the monitor. Does that mean i owuld also have to use dual DP to get the max resolution?? also this link form asus states some unclear info at least to me... http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=c0W4T5UPMiR4E0X9&content=download (well link off a little should be specs)

What I gather from this is DP has a lower max res than DVI??? What is a dual DVI cable? Is it a y adapter of sorts? one DVI (video card) to two (monitor) ?? Would i need two DP to get max res?? Answers on this would be great !!

Okay D-sub means D-subminiature AKA VGA cable that has a lesser resolution than the DVI but what about display port?? I assume that because there is only one and because of slighty higher specs it might need only one connector to display full resolution??
